ADAKA
Students still have time for some improvisation, but emphasis is now on learning the craft of acting. They learn to create an ongoing subtext for their character and to rehearse in a professional manner. They perform for school audiences and the general public at a downtown theatre. Along the way, they also learn skills like fencing and unarmed combat and, if the play has songs in it, work with a choreographer and musical director, but the main emphasis is on learning to ACT.
ULTRADAKA
These students do all of the above and more with more mature material. Their plays usually do not have musical numbers. Past successes include: - Hay Fever; Blithe Spirit; Our Town; The Crucible; The Norman Conquests; Noises Off; Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet; Waiting for the Parade and The Importance of Being Earnest.
PROFESSIONAL KIDS
If your child has professional ambitions or already has an agent and wants to work further on his or her craft, Jill can help you there too. She has coached the young performers on the series Dudley the Dragon and Flash Forward. Current and former students include:
Alison Pill - at the age of 20, Alison has over 40 film and television credits to her name, including Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Dear Wendy, A Separate Peace, Fast Food High, Pieces of April, Perfect Pie and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. She has appeared in plays both on Broadway and off-Broadway. She has been nominated for a Tony Award and three Young Artist Awards.
Connor Price - series regular on Alice, I Think. Film credits include Cinderella Man (in which he played Russell Crowe's son), Men With Brooms, A History of Violence, The Stone Angel and The Republic of Love, to list a few.
Keir Gilchrist - series regular on The Winner on Fox. Other credits include Life With Derek, 1-800-Missing, Regenesis, Doc, Family Guy and Queer as Folk.

Jill is in regular contact with several casting agents and personal managers in town. Jill gives private TV and movie acting classes as well as "Let’s Make a Movie" camps.
Please Note: All advanced classes are for students who have already worked with Jill or have had equivalent experience. These classes will work toward a major public production. Regular attendance and line learning by specific dates are mandatory. An interview/audition is required for new students.
